Now I know you will all think I am nutty...well I am I guess! But my neighbour, dog walking pal and generally very good mate came over the other night and she was looking through the paper as a job at her work had been advertised. She works for a smallish, family run business. We decided that we would email her boss with an application on behalf of my dog!! I was assured beforehand that she loved dogs and does have a very good sense of humour. We were crying with laughter when we sent it and I laughed even harder when I came home today to find that she had sent an application form and covering letter for him in the post!!
I just thought I would share a little of her letter with you in the hiope that it would make you smile on this chilly November day....
Thank you for your interest in the above position. Having viewed your CV I feel that your skills would be better utilised in the post of field Investigator. As the Company is based in Kent there are a lot of fields that need intensive investigation.
We are looking for a candidate who can walk approximately 10 to 20 times per week with our very busy service controller. Actual walk hours will be agreed with the successful applicant and job share may be considered. We must point out that our quality standard precludes us from accepting anyone who has been convicted of dogging, leg bonking or general lewd behaviour.
Job benefits include cuddles, biscuits, silly games and a selection of desks to sleep under. We can also provide a couple of labradors who are able to provide shelter to vertically challenged applicants in the event of rain or snow.
etc etc
Is'nt that great? The letter came complete with application form with a signature space marked with a paw and she even put a chew in for him!
He will of course be responding and we are working on his interview skills as we speak.
